America has a lot of secrets: the nuclear launch codes, what’s going on at Area 51, Bigfoot, why the Denver International Airport seems so odd, whatever happened to D. B. Cooper, and exactly what evidence convinced several U.S. government agencies that the most likely cause of the Covid-19 pandemic was a lab leak.
And over at the Democratic National Committee, they’re locking up the biggest secret of all: why the Democrats lost the 2024 election.
In a move that should unleash harsh criticism and recriminations,

FTA: "...the DNC spent a decent amount of time and money on a comprehensive review, and it has decided that the best way to apply the lessons from that review is to not let anyone ever see it."
Translation: We need to cheat more to increase the margin of fraud.

The dims concluded they lost because the bullet fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks missed Trump's head in Butler PA on July 13, 2024.

Both #1 & #2 got it right.
- They underestimated the ballot fraud required
- The assassination attempts failed
I am not surprised they want to keep it a secret.

The DemoRoids lost for several reasons.
Every attempt to eliminate PDJT failed and made him more sympathetic to the public.
They lied about everything, and their lies caught up with them.
They waited too long to replace President AutoPen/FJB and picked the worst possible replacement for him, Kamalalala Sutra Harris.
And she picked probably the worst possible person, Tampon Tim Great Walz of China, to be her running mate.
There are more, but these are a good sample.

The posts above are dead on, but the conclusion will be that the DemoRoid puppet masters need better puppets. Brandon and Kamala couldn't express a thought so they will be replaced by Gruesome Newsom and the Shiff-head.

I don't know. Maybe the worst, most pathetic, laughable candidates for elective office in the history of the world had something to do with it.

Let me guess. A worthless LYING Candidate named Scamala Harris and a Communist, Tampon Timmy.
May they both get their rewards when they go to meet their GOD Lucifer!

DNC Executive Summary
Post election polls indicate the electorate had finally discovered that not a single one of our policies worked and that they never have worked. With even less to run on than usual the standard playbook of calling the opposing candidate a Fascist Nazi Racist Xenophobe who gives tax breaks to his rich friends was ineffective. New to this cycle we called the Republican challenger a threat to our Democracy, charged him with 88 criminal counts and had the FBI stage an armed raid on his home. This would have been enough to elect even an incumbent as weak as Joe Biden. However, Biden crashed and burned in the debate forcing us to run VP Harris. Still, she would have been successful had Harris been able to articulate even a single reason she should be elected president. These events will be a major obstacle in 2028 as over the last 4 years the major media outlets have lost substantial credibility propping up an ailing Joe Biden and then the hapless Kamala Harris.

Seriously, a child of 3 could have figured it out. Biden, Harris and the Democrat leadership found a way to lose significant slices of their usual voting blocks -- black men, Hispanics, Jews, etc. I saw it unfolding throughout the fall of 2024.
The Trump campaign was, face it, a fun place to be. Biden and then Harris, well, I've been to funerals with more activity.
Don't know how much the DNC spent on this ... I'm sure the usual suspects/consultants did well ... but I'd have given them this real answer for half the price.

Sure hope that information is leaked somehow since it sounds like it would be a real problem for Democrats running for office.
Maybe it's about how they are over-represented in the House and likely Senate due to lots of votes being counted that shouldn't be counted.
How the Democrats have been gaslighting and lying to their voters with the hope they are once again fooled into voting for them?
That the abortion issue is settled and not the issue they can use to divide and scare voters which means they can vote for all the other issues that actually impact them, their children and grandchildren?

The BIGGER set of secrets regards the 2020 election, just a couple of which are:
-why did those -what were there... seven?- swing states ALL stop counting votes for the night.... at the same time?
-How did the HairSniffer get 81,000,000 votes.... something like 5,000,000 more than any other candidate before or since, especially as he had, in his previous tries, rightly earned the nickname "One Percent Joe"?.
-What is the truth of the 'water main break' -that wasn't- in GA?
-What is the truth behind the driver's story of "the truckload of ballots" that he was hauling from one state to another that night?
The 'Rats and their stooges, the FIBbers, and their other stooges, the Lamestreams, covered these stories -with a pillow, until they stopped moving- years ago.

Lots of interesting ideas of what is in the report. Most of then are probably true things that had an impact.
However, this was a dem report for dems, so it only matters what the report itself concludes that went wrong, not our speculation. We can be reassured that the report was useless because dems haven't done anything competent in a long time. Why would this report be any different? Also, such a report has to be honest. Have we seen the dems capable of honest introspection anytime recently? It's all about spin.

A blind man could have figured this one out.
20% cumulative inflation.
Illegals coming across open borders, pushing Americans out of the way for entitlements.
Lawfare against Trump.
A Dem candidate who fell apart during the debate, followed by a Dem candidate who could not string together two words in a coherent fashion.
A Dem party who let themselves be led over the cliff by the extremists in their party.

How bout this: For the first time (perhaps 2016 as well, but more effectively in 2024), the RINOS, including the faux conservative National Review and the Bushes and Cheneys, were effectively neutered Their ability to help the Dems was reduced by Trump, who would tell those RINOS to go pound sand whenever he could.

To #12, add this:
Q: why did Virginia, which Biden allegedly won by 1.1 million votes, have 3 early-morning ballot dumps, all in favor of Biden, that each totaled exactly 300,000 ballots? How could that possibly happen? And what does that answer imply for his remaining 200,000-vote "winning" margin?
Q: How could Biden lose 18 of 19 bellweather counties across the USA, that otherwise had correctly predicted the winner in every POTUS race for the last 50 years? How could that possibly happen?
Q: Whatever happened to the 1,000+ sworn affidavits attesting to ballot/election fraud? Perhaps buried with the voting machines and extra ballots?
Q: Whatever happened to:
the evidence presented in the 2,000 mules video?
unconstitutional changes to state election laws
unsupervised ballot drop boxes
unsupervised partisan ballot counting
millions of illegal ballots
videos of recounting of bundles of ballots
videos of ballot-box stuffing
voting machine errors, mal-programming, and internet connections
mathematically impossible voting patterns (multiple precincts with more votes than voters, 100% democrat precincts, etc)
Judicial malfeasance
Anyone who claims there was no election fraud in 2020 is either a fool, an ignoramus, or is complicit in the crime.
